No end in sight to Ukraine war even as global calls for ceasefire get louder

The Hindu  

Published : Jun 29, 2023 11:00 IST - 8 MINS READ The chances of the Russia-Ukraine war ending any time soon are getting dimmer by the day. Russian President Vladimir Putin had previously said that one of the important reasons for carrying out the “special military operation” in Ukraine was to cleanse the country of neo-Nazis and fascists. Ukraine denied any involvement in the drone strikes in Moscow, but US officials said that the Ukrainian military “most likely” orchestrated the attacks and it claimed to be “unhappy” with Ukraine for authorising it. Ukraine’s position Zelenskyy has said that only a complete Russian withdrawal from all Ukrainian territory, including the Donbas region and the Crimean Peninsula, could end the war. Russia will not part with Crimea at any cost and has said that any large-scale Ukrainian military attack on the peninsula will be viewed as an “act of war” against the Russian Federation.
